Chapter 86: [End of the main text] 1/2

Everyone was asking when they could see them again. Song Fuzhi’s tone was gentle, but his words were ruthless: “I won’t attend offline events very often; don’t hold any hopes. When the time comes to meet, we will meet.”

– Ah, ah, FuFu, you can’t do this!

– Ugh, too cold.

He glanced at Shi Zhang and smiled. “But maybe you can look forward to Octopus Teacher.”

Song Fuzhi’s intention was that although he wouldn’t attend offline events, it wouldn’t affect Shi Zhang; he could still freely participate.

But Shi Zhang quickly said, “I’m with Teacher Fu.”

The barrage was filled with whispers.

Finished with whispers, they started howling, saying, “You can’t build your happiness on the suffering of netizens!”

Meeting offline is a matter of chance. Even if they open a session, it’s not guaranteed to get tickets. Everyone could only compromise.

– When will the update be?

– Teachers, please cosplay as my favorite couple, please!!

– Make a wish in a dream. I hope OctoFu can cosplay the kissing scene of my favorite couple.

This time, it was Octopus Teacher who answered, “It will be updated when it’s time.”

The barrage was filled with cries again.

– Octopus, you’ve really changed. Where’s the high-output Octopus from before?

– Sisters, think positively. Octopus Teacher not only didn’t retire but also came back with FuFu. Aren’t we lucky?

– As long as you two can continue updating, it’s okay. Health is more important. It’s been three seconds; why haven’t we seen a new episode yet?

Song Fuzhi couldn’t bear to let the audience down like this: “We’ll still release episodes regularly. If you want to see something, leave us a message.”

– Where do we leave a message? FuFu, you don’t even have Weibo!

– I leave a message on FuFu’s video account; he never seems to check it QAQ.

Song Fuzhi was a bit helpless. “Ah, Weibo, I’ll open it.”

A prominent message floated to the top, asking: “Two teachers, you still owe us a riddle! In the program, you both said you’ve collaborated with someone else. With whom?!”

The barrage followed up, saying, Yes, you two are the mystery duo; isn’t it time to confess?

No detail was overlooked by the CP fans.

The interactive segments of the program were repeatedly edited and watched countless times by the masses. All the sweet tacit understanding could be traced, leaving only this one doubt.

Octopus Teacher specifically said that this wasn’t his first collaboration since his comeback, and FuFu also mentioned another person for his first collaboration. Who else could they collaborate with?

– Why ask? They must have secretly filmed collaboration videos at home, ah ah ah.

– Hurry up and release them for us to see; don’t be so ungrateful!

– If you don’t update, that’s fine, but don’t even let us see your inventory QAQ.

These barrages were too conspicuous to ignore.

Song Fuzhi moved away from the phone and whispered to Shi Zhang, “They have good memories.”

Shi Zhang raised an eyebrow. “Should we tell them?”

“They’ve already guessed,” Song Fuzhi said, “but they are clever.”

The barrager was not happy.

– I heard you two whispering on the side. Can you speak louder?

– Talking behind the audience’s back again!

Song Fuzhi covered the phone, just like when they covered the microphone on the show. They spoke a few words on the side.

Octopus Teacher cleared his throat and announced the discussion results concisely: “You will see it.”

– You better keep your word!!

Feifei excitedly raised his fist. “Two teachers, you have to keep your promise; we want to see it too!”

– Hahaha!

After chatting with the audience for so long, all through a call with Feifei, a few people occasionally inserted a few words and laughed happily together.

“We’re going to continue playing the game,” Feifei asked. “Do you want to stay?”

“Sixteen and a half minutes,” the Octopus Teacher pointed at the clock.

– Laughing, Octopus is still thinking about their movie.

– I’ll let you go back to your world of two people. Bye!

Song Fuzhi joked, “Octopus Teacher, you can go first. I’ll stay here and play games for a while.”

The barrage was ecstatic, and Feifei cheered for Song Fuzhi to stay.

“Okay.” Song Fuzhi looked at Shi Zhang and blinked. “We’re leaving. Have fun.”

Everyone was annoyed. FuFu learned bad things and could tease people now. No one knew who he learned it from.

But after chatting for so long, everyone was already quite happy.

Song Fuzhi and Shi Zhang said goodbye to them and hung up the phone.

“Alright, let’s continue watching.” Song Fuzhi took Shi Zhang’s phone and prepared to switch the live broadcast to the movie.

The live window had already been minimized, but Song Fuzhi suddenly stopped.

Shi Zhang came over and asked, “What’s wrong?”

In the live broadcast, they had started the next round of random phone call challenges, and this time it was the turn of the artist, Teacher Dan.

The rule was to close their eyes and randomly pick someone from their friend list. Whoever they picked, they had to connect with them and ask if they wanted to join the game.

Teacher Dan randomly picked someone, and there was a brief moment of blank expression.

Huya leaned over to take a look. “Who is it?”

“I feel it’s not convenient to disturb her,Teacher Dan said. “I added her not long ago, and we’re not very familiar.”

“Oh my! Isn’t this the essence of the game? Playing with people you’re not familiar with can help you get to know them,” Feifei said, stretching his neck. “Let me see, who did you draw?”

Teacher Dan showed him the screen: “Zhen Shen.”

Feifei widened his eyes. “Ah, Zhen Shen!”

– Wow, it turns out the artists I like know each other!

– It’s Mrs. Zhen!! The 17-year-old genius went viral with one drawing!

– Ah, please, quickly connect with her QWQ

– I really like this game; please make it a regular activity! We can see many fantastic collaborations, haha.

“I know, Zhen Shen Teacher. I’ve been wanting to meet her; I never had the chance!” Feifei exclaimed. “This is perfect.”

Seeing that Song Fuzhi was watching attentively, Shi Zhang asked, “Do you want to keep watching?”

“I want to watch their live broadcast for a little longer.” Song Fuzhi touched his chin with a smile that could be seen or unseen, looking at Shi Zhang. “Is that okay?”

“Of course,” Shi Zhang said, opening a can of cola with one hand. The soda made a “hiss” sound.

He handed it naturally to Song Fuzhi, and the two clinked glasses. “Anything is fine.”

At this point, the socially anxious Feifei had already dialed the phone and was waiting for the answer.

– OMG, it’s Feifei again!!

– I bet Huya has come a long way from being socially anxious, all thanks to Feifei, haha.

Song Fuzhi, with one hand supporting his chin, unconsciously raised the corner of his mouth.

Shi Zhang looked at his expression and raised an eyebrow. “Really a student?”

“The voice sounds like it, but I’m not entirely sure.” Song Fuzhi smiled. “This kid doesn’t usually sound so sweet.”

The call rang for a long time. Just when Feifei thought Zhen Shen wouldn’t answer, a “beep” sounded, and the other party picked up.

In the live broadcast, a somewhat cautious girl’s voice said, “Hello?”

“Hello, hello! Sorry to disturb you,Teacher Zhen. I’m not Teacher Dan; I’m his friend, Feifei, a cosplayer. We’re playing games in the live broadcast, and we randomly drew you, so we called you for this conversation…”

Feifei explained and enthusiastically introduced himself. On the other side, the girl seemed to relax a bit, sounding pleasantly surprised. “Ah, Feifei, is it really Feifei?”

They chatted and laughed, and Teacher Zhen, you can open the live broadcast now. We’re the real deal.

After a moment of silence on the other side, a soft “oh my god” came; probably the girl had opened the live broadcast and confirmed that she wasn’t dreaming.

– Hahaha, Teacher Zhen is shocked.

–  Teacher Zhen’s voice sounds so cute and young!

– Feels like a cute girl and really wants to pinch her QWQ

Song Fuzhi propped up his chin with one hand, unable to suppress the smile on his face.

Shi Zhang looked at his expression and asked, “Really a student?”

“The voice sounds like it, but not entirely sure,” Song Fuzhi smiled. “This kid doesn’t usually sound so sweet.”

After a brief chat,Teacher Zhen clearly entered a lively state and became a bit crazy. “Oh my god, I really talked to you guys! So many of us really like you. I’m so excited. I’ll go crazy showing off when I go back!”

– Hahaha,Teacher Zhen is shocked.

– Mrs. Zhen is so cute!

– Just like when I met my favorite teacher at the booth at the comic convention: Ah, ah, ah, teacher, I finally met you! Then the two bow and shake hands frantically.

Huya had been quiet, but now he approached the phone nervously and said, “Teacher Zhen’s drawings are very good, I really like them!”

Teacher Dan, sitting next to him, glanced at Huya indifferently, extended his arm, and, with his slender fingers, gently pushed him back.

The two groups of people recognized each other excitedly and politely, agreeing to exchange contact information. Zhen Shen sounded like she was about to faint from happiness.

Song Fuzhi’s eyes were full of smiles, and he whispered, “Progress.”

In the class, everyone called her “Xin Jie.” Even in front of Song Fuzhi, she had never been afraid. Always clear-headed, calm, and composed. Now, seeing a cosplayer and an artist she liked, she was polite, respectful, and so excited that she could hardly speak.

Teacher Song felt a bit struck.

Yao Xinxin switched to the chat window and quickly threw exclamation marks into the group: Ah, ah, ah, my family, I’ve made progress! Quickly go watch Feifei’s live broadcast!! Mom, I’m on TV!

In just a few minutes, the group of the two-dimensional world’s small team received hundreds of messages, all saying, “Wow, Zhen Goddess is awesome.”

Feifei curiously asked, “Is Teacher Zhen still in high school?”

Yao Xinxin replied with a sound, “In the second year of high school.”

– Wuu wuu wuu, she’s really a goddess.

– Drawing so well in high school, keep it up, little sister; you’ll definitely become super amazing!

Hearing “second year of high school,” Song Fuzhi was almost sure. He chuckled for a long time. “Ninety percent probability that she’s from our class. Yao Xinxin, you should have met her.”

“Oh, I remember her. When you guys visited the university, her botanical science drawings were really good.” Shi Zhang smiled and showed Song Fuzhi Zhen Shen’s Weibo. “Teacher Song, the half-naked handsome guy drawn by a student in your class is also pretty good.”
